Air Fryer Hard boiled eggs are easy to make and they peel perfectly for any dish you want to create! Air Frying is the new fail-proof way.

Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs

Life doesn’t get any similar to using my Air Fryer to hard boil eggs! Once you try this method you will never use another method for hard boiling eggs again. 

I love that I no longer have to wait for the water to boil or my Instant Pot to come to pressure, it is as easy as placing the eggs in the Air Fryer and cooking them to perfection every single time. 

An ice bath is one of the best ways to get a clean peel with a boiled egg since the air fryer doesn’t use water.  I used a 6-quart air fryer. If you have a smaller one, just use as many eggs as you can that will fit in one layer. Do not change the temperature or time.  Store bought eggs peel much easier and cleaner than fresh farm eggs. I have yet to find something that truly works with fresh farm eggs.  The eggs will be very hot when coming out of the air fryer. I tend to let them sit in the air fryer basket for a couple of minutes before handling them. You can also use tongs if you want to get them in the ice bath sooner.

This is just another reason why I love my Air Fryer. These eggs will make for the perfect base of these adorable Hello Kitty Easter Eggs or any of your favorite egg dishes!
